📋 About This Mod

NOTICE
I have been in contact with fLokii, and he has given me permission (and access to his script sources) to write a patch for UFO. I have done so. I now have assembled an update to UFO, which should resolve all previous problems with followers not dismissing/waiting/following.

Follower Compatibility will attempt to maximize compatibility between all the major follower/companion mods and the miscellaneous multi-follower mods available.

  As this is a script mod, and does not modify any content directly, placement in the load order should not matter. If I am forced to make changes that require careful ordering, I will make that perfectly clear here.  

This mod uses scripts to tweak mod settings in order to achieve the greatest compatibility.

  Current changes:  

Inigo 

  • []EFF support, references and calls EFF script to add follower once they are determined to be a player teammate.[/] []Adjusts the PlayerFollowerCount variable while speaking with Inigo to allow for recruitment with UFO and EFF.[/]

Kitiara: 

(Note: No longer available on Nexus)
  • []Attempts to work around the UFO Sneaking bug, which was making Kitiara walk home when the player entered stealth mode.[/] []Adds Kitiara to EFF properly[/]

Hoth:

  • []Adjusts PlayerFollowerCount variable allowing Hoth to join when you have followers. (UFO and EFF)[/] []Adds Hoth to EFF properly.[/]

Thorald Grey-mane:

  • []Initial support for Thorald Grey-mane. Requires additional patch download.[/] []NOTE: This REQUIRES separate download. If you're here for Thorald, make sure you get both the main file and the optional![/] []NOTE 2: If you are using the new UFO Compatibility Version, this is no longer needed (but should not hurt either.)[/] [] LOAD ORDER Thorald GreyMane UFO Patch.esp MUST be immediately below Thorald GreyMane.esp.[/]

Cerwiden and Mei:

  • []Ceri and Mei will no longer fight over who gets to change the vanilla VoiceType FormLists. Both will now be placed (back) into the lists they need on the fly.[/]
More to come, as I can contact mod authors to coordinate compatibility!

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure to load this mod after your follower mods in your load order to ensure it patches them correctly.

  • Check the mod's forum posts for user reports on compatibility with specific follower mods, since the description is thin.
